Fiore, Williamsburg, BK

I enjoyed a really pleasant Sat. evening dinner at Fiore in Williamsburg on Saturday night. I sat at the bar, which I highly recommend. The bartender was really helpful and friendly, letting me taste the wine before making my selection.  In fact, the whole staff was really nice.  The food wasn’t spectacular, but it was certainly better than average and exceeded expectations given the price.  My carbonara had nice, large chunks of pancetta in it and cost only $9. I’ll definitely go back.

If you go to Fiore, you might swing by Larry Lawrence for an after dinner drink. It’s almost directly across the street, and has a classy speakeasy air to it without being totally undetectable.  The coolest feature is it’s 2nd level outdoor smoking patio.  The wall between the patio and the bar is all glass, so while you catch some fresh air you can spy on your friends flirting with each other down in the bar. It’s a pretty neat setup for social spectating.
